Welcome to my homepage i would like to talk to you about dragon ball z and well you see below and i will get some codes and gameshark codes for playstation, N64 .
The Game Shark and Pro Action Replay are devices that allow custom cheat codes to
be enabled in various console games. Originally developed by Datel Design and
Development, Ltd. in the U.K., this technology is known as the Pro Action Replay in
Europe, while distributed by InterAct Accessories as the Game Shark in North
America.
System Availability
Game Shark and Pro Action Replay cartridges are available for the Sony PlayStation,
Nintendo 64, and Sega Saturn video game systems. Each system requires their own
version of the device. The Nintendo 64 and Sega Saturn versions plug intothe
cartridge port on the top of the console. The Sony PlayStation version plugs into the
high-speed parallel port on the back of the console.
Compatibility
For the most part, Game Shark codes can be used in a Pro Action Replay and vice
versa. However, this assumes that the same regional version of the game is being used
on both systems. Since games are often modified when released in various world
markets, most Pro Action Replay codes correspond to European releases, while Game
Shark codes correspond to North American or Japanese releases. Thus, Pro Action
Replay codes for an European version of a game can be used in any Game Shark or
Pro Action Replay cartridge if that version of the game is being played in that
machine. However, those same codes in that same machine will not work if the U.S.
version of a game is in the console.
Function
If you're familiar with the Game Genie or Action Replay cartridges used in the 8-bit or
16-bit video game systems, then you already understand the concept of the Game
Shark and Pro Action Replay. As a game runs on a video game system, specific
locations in the consoles RAM memory are used to hold important information, such
as the number of lives remaining, shields, ammunition, current game level, etc. The
Game Shark and Pro Action Replay device is able to override the values in those
memory locations, allowing the game to be played with unlimited lives, always full
shields, unlimited ammunition, etc.
This capability is a distinct advantage, especially in games that don't have built-in cheat
codes. A large number of games can now be mastered by using internal codes from
the cartridge, or by entering custom codes found in magazines, 1-900 tip lines, or web
sites such as this.
Keycodes
Recent Nintendo 64 games, starting with 1080� Snowboarding, Banjo-Kazooie, Diddy
Kong Racing, and Yoshi's Story are capable of blocking standard Game Shark codes.
A blank screen will appear if these titles are used with an older Game Shark. A special
"Keycode" feature has been added to Nintendo 64 Game Sharks that are at least
version 1.08.
The Keycode menu can be accessed on such cartridges by pressing L + R at the main
Game Shark menu. The menu allows preset codes or newly defined codes to be
selected. Once the appropriate codes have been selected, the Nintendo 64 console
must be powered off to allow the Game Shark to switch to the Keycode mode. When
the system is turned back on, the game will start with the cheat features enabled. When
the Nintendo 64 is powered off after game play, the Game Shark will revert to
standard mode.
Note: Different versions of the Game Shark higher than version 1.8 exist. Each
requires different Keycodes for each set of games.
InterAct Accessories will upgrade your older Game Shark to be Keycode compatible
free of charge.
GS Button
The Nintendo 64 version of the Game Shark/Pro Action Replay has a small button
located to the right of the LED display on the front of the cartridge. Termed a "GS
button", its function is similar to a "Joker Command". The GS button allows a code to
be activated momentarily, bypassing problems if it was always enabled.
